So the argument against Signal is now "the creator's nickname sounds odd"? I mean, OK? Keep using WhatsApp, Telegram or Instagram if you think those are more private than Signal.

Does anyone actually think that’s his real name?
- stavros 10mo ago
  I'm sure some people who don't realise it's a pseudonym do? Sounds like you're one of them.

    Lol, why are you so mad? My while point is that he doesn’t reveal his actual name.

      Oh man, I didn't think I'll actually see a reply with "u mad bro?" on this site. Anyway, good luck with your endeavors.

        Hey, not my problem if you can’t take a few seconds to understand what people are writing.

        How could I have failed to understand such clear writing, shame on me.

It's totally comments of people using Telegram.

  It's just people having zero product sense, or an idea of what it means to target more than 0.01% of the market. The last comment said that Signal's problem is that it's mobile-first, which, how does someone even think that a messaging app should be anything other than mobile-first?

    Having Google and Apple apps is fine. Having that be the only option, and the recommended option for high risk use cases is unforgivable.
    - stavros 10mo ago
      Those aren't the only two options. You can buy a non-Google Android phone and install the APK on it.

        How do I run Signal on my Librem 5?
        stavros 10mo ago
        You write an OS/2 emulator for it and use the OS/2 version of Signal, of course. How else?
